Jump to PostMaybe the mail settings in PHP are not configured correctly? Perhaps you can find something wrong in
phpinfo();(somewhere inphpinfo(13);, probably).

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
mail("someone@example.com", "Subject: $subject",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
{
echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>

If you're running your own WAMP, it should be very easy to edit php.ini. If not, contact the one that is running the server.

What do you mean? To edit php.ini, just click on the WAMP icon and there should be something that says "Edit php.ini".

Well, unless you want to install your own mail server, you could enter you gmail details or something.
